Hi Mani,
Not many developers really use NetBeans when working on JDK code. And
only a few (if any) actually build it from NetBeans. Since the main
build system for JDK is makefiles-based, obviously the netbeans projects
are almost never updated when something happens to the way the code is
built. Thus the projects become outdated.
The new build system (configure/make-based, see the makefiles/ directory
in JDK) is very fast. It does a very good job with incremental builds,
so I suggest to use it for your purposes.

Hi all,
I have made some progress with the below three sub-projects, and have
successfully built jarzip. But still get new error messages with
awt2d and
j2se.
I answered my own question about the -source 8, its basically
expecting the
images/j2sdk-image to be assigned to the respective ALT_...
variables via
the make.options property in build.properties for all three projects.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to build swing via the .../javax/swing/
folder
where the required make file(s) are present.
But my other queries still stand, if you can throw some light on
them, it
would be help make progress with these builds using the new build
system.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have furthered my pursuits with building *OpenJDK projects *by
building
the JDK sub-projects like swing, etc... but came across issues with
building 3 different projects which I wasn't able to build due
configuration issues. These sub-projects are located under the
netbeans
subfolder under the .../jdk/make/ folder.
They all are getting compiled for version 8 with the below args
(which is
leading to a build failure):
-source 8 -target 8
*jdk/awt2d*
https://github.com/__neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/__blob/master/__EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/__Logs/jdk/awt2d/awt2dAntBuild.__log

*jdk/j2se*

<https://github.com/neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/Logs/jdk/j2se/j2seAntBuild.log>
*jdk/jarzip*

<https://github.com/neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/Logs/jdk/jarzip/jarzipAntBuild.log>
Where is this version configuration set for these projects, that
I can
change either through file changes or alternative
build.properties setting
changes? My other question is why are there no make files
available for the
jdk sub-projects (i.e. *awt2d, j2se,* etc...) except for under *
javax/swing* has make files to build this project instead Ant
build.xml
files are available. Is it possible to hook these ant files with
the new
build system, instead of only being able to build the
sub-projects via the
old build system (using the ALT_... variables via make.options).
Thanks.

mani
